About the event

The Nest Creative Space is celebrating our ten-year anniversary with an artisan market open to the public + Dj’s and the community!

Nestled between the traffic and trees on Botany Road in Redfern, exists a hidden artist’s oasis. A multi-story warehouse filled with a labyrinth of murals, artwork and artists studios that has become home to over 70 makers. 
In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, The Nest Creative Space is opening its doors and welcoming Eora’s art-loving community with wide arms to an artisan market and 10th-year party.

At the artisan market, you can buy directly from the artists and small businesses who create within The Nest. A rare opportunity to visit the studios, support super local Sydney makers, and slow trade products whilst finding unique and one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts for your family and friends!

Doors open at 1 pm where you will be invited to meet the artists and support local Sydney makers.

Stay a while to explore the space and learn about its history.

From 5.30 pm, the trestle tables from the market will be moved aside as we boogie into the evening with a lovingly curated secret lineup of three of our fave queer DJ acts.

$20.00

Experience the best environment for a life drawing class ever! No experience is necessary.
